A gamma ray burst produces radiation that has a period of 3.6x10-21 s. What wavelength does this radiation have?

Olin [163]3 years ago

Answer:

The radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Explanation:

Frequency is the ratio of speed of photon to its wavelength

F = c/λ

where;

c is the speed of the photon = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of gamma ray = ?

F is the frequency of the gamma ray = 1/T

T is the period of radiation = 3.6x10⁻²¹ s

\frac{1}{T}  = \frac{c}{\lambda}

λ = T*C

λ = 3.6x10⁻²¹ *  3 x 10⁸

λ =  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Therefore, the radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

A diver 40 m deep in 10 degrees C fresh water exhales a 1.5 cm diameter bubble.
zzz [600]

Answer:

0.0257259766982 m

Explanation:

P_2 = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

d_1 = Initial diameter = 1.5 cm

d_2 = Final diameter

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

h = Depth = 40 m

The pressure is

P_1=P_2+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow P_1=101325+1000\times 9.81\times 40\\\Rightarrow P_1=493725\ Pa

From ideal gas law we have

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2\dfrac{4}{3\times8}\pi d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{P_1d_1^3}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2d_2^3}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{P_1d_1^3T_2}{P_2T_1})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=(\dfrac{493725\times 0.015^3\times (20+273.15)}{101325\times (10+273.15)})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d_2=0.0257259766982\ m

The diameter of the bubble is 0.0257259766982 m

A 2100-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m before coming into contact w
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

   f = 878,080 N

Explanation:

mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg

distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m

depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}

calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.

  • from work done = force x distance
  • work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
  • equating the two equations above we have

               force x distance = m x g x (s - d)

              f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))

              d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its  

              initial position to be an origin point which is 0

              f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12

                   f = 878,080 N

If a transformer has a primary with 100 V and fifty coils, and a secondary that yields 20 V, how many coils are on the secondary
melomori [17]
Ideally, if all the magnetic of one winding cuts the other winding, and there isn't any loss in the transformer core or the resistance of the wire, then the voltage across each winding is proportional to the number of turns in its coil.

If you apply 100 V to a winding of 50 turns, then a winding that yields 20 volts
must be wound with

(20/100) of 50 turns = 10 turns

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

see explanations below

Explanation:

At the point when the car leaves the track, the reaction on the road is zero, meaning that the centrifugal force equals the gravitation force, namely

mv^2/r = mg

Solve for v in SI units

v^2 = gr = 9.81 m/s^2 * 14.2 m = 139.302 m^2/s^2

v = sqrt(139.302) = 11.8 m/s

Answer: at 11.8 m/s (26.4 mph) car will leave the track.
